A couple of q's re: the parts.

1) THe alternator duct - is it integral to the fog light plate or does the alternator duct separate from the fog light plate ? The picture did not make this clear. THere's no denying that this part is definitely required for air cooled alternators. Cutting a hole in the fog light cover is not as effective as this.

2) The aluminum sheetmetal brake duct support - does this part have anything to do with supporting or coupling the square brake duct boot to the fenderwell opening (aka side skit per your picture) or does this metal brake duct support serve to fasten the bottom of the side skit to the bottom of the bumper cover ? Can't tell what this part's true function serves in the picture.

3) You show the tools used in the install. My bumper has two large torx head bolts located underneath the top of the grill that holds the bumper cover onto the energy absorbing beam. Did your bumper use metric hex head bolts instead of torx ? By the way, what part(s) did that hammer get used on ?

I must admit, after seeing your photos, it appears that Bekker's Imports has short changed me quite a few parts. I'll look forward to discussing this with them. Many thanks for the photos.
